I’ve been pretty hungry, 24/7, most of my life. I’ve assumed it’s related to my history of hypoglycemia and insulin resistance. I figured with pregnancy just about every day would be a surprise for me – so many new things, feelings, emotions, challenges etc. But I 100% underestimated how much more hungry I could be…

So here’s the deal: enchiladas are just delicious. Fact. And they taste great with cheese – that’s just science. Buuut, I’m trying to eat less cheese. How do I make delicious, satisfying enchiladas without cheese? For the last year before I was pregnant I was eating maybe 1 or 2 very small servings of cheese a…

This post isn’t actually about whether or not Diet Coke, diet soda and other artificial sweetener laden drinks and food are bad for you – I mean of course they probably are but what isn’t “bad” for us these days? Besides that’s boring and useless if you haven’t been motivated already to give up Diet…

I’ve been keeping snack bars, energy bars, meal bars, protein bars and granola bars in my purse steadily for the past 13 or so years to ensure I’ve got nourishment with me in case my blood sugar gets to low. But my preferences, needs and tastes have changed significantly over time, and I imagine they…

We recently had a Mendocino Farms open near us and with just one catered event at our office, my whole department is hooked in their curried couscous. This yellow goodness is so delectable – highly addictive but also VERY OILY, I’m guessing from the veganaise? Many of us vowed to make it ourselves to save…

When I’m not too full from True Food Kitchen charred cauliflower, my husband and I leave a little room for dessert – specifically their chia seed pudding with banana and toasted coconut. It’s so creamy and decadent- but emphasis on the decadent. Sometimes I want to live a little and have something sweet, but without…

I’m obsessed with breakfast – mostly about getting it right – because when I get it wrong, I get my whole day wrong. And my whole day being wrong often affects the next day (at least), and my husband’s day, because of my resulting erratic energy levels and moods (at best). I just want a…

I’ve never met a lentil I didn’t like! I’m obsessed with lentils. I have them most days a week. My parents never fed us lentils when I was growing up (shame on them!) and I never tried a single lentil until about 10 years ago. Now I’m hooked! Over the past few months I’ve been crafting…

My “sweet-tooth” is luckily not as strong as it used to be, but every now and then I a treat and I need it to be baked! What’s a crisp? It’s like a cobbler but healthier! I can’t really do baked goods and even some fruits are too sweet-tasting for me. This blueberry crisp recipe is…

I LOVE black beans. And mango is delicious…obvi. This salsa does them both justice. I make this organic black bean salsa recipe – or my cheat version of it – about once a week. I’ll eat this for my mid-morning snack with celery while at work, or it’s a great snack when I end my day….
